NEW EPISODE: Episode 12: It’s one of most well-known and beautiful space pictures ever. It’s the Pillars of Creation within the Eagle Nebula, or M16. This famous photo was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, but few know that this image was a comeback of sorts for Hubble.

When Hubble was first launched, it sent back blurry photos due to an optical error in the lens. So, plans were devised and set into motion to try and tune Hubble up. How could they fix the problem with Hubble already up in space?

This is not only the story of the Hubble Space Telescopes triumphant return from its blurry beginnings and how the issues were fixed, but the story of how this image—located some 7000 light-years away—was captured via methods you may not know about.

This is the twelfth episode in a series of episodes that’ll drop every Saturday throughout 2024. Visit the full video here:

Reposted from @nasa The best of both worlds 🎸⁣ ⁣ Recognize the Pillars of Creation? Two of the James Webb Space Telescope’s images — one taken in near-infrared light and the other in mid-infrared — were fused together for a new take on a familiar classic. This composite sets the star-forming region ablaze with fresh details.⁣ ⁣ Look for thousands of nearly formed stars, looking like bright orange-red spheres that lie at the edges of the dusty pillars. Stars primarily show up in near-infrared wavelengths, so this is the work of Webb’s near-infrared camera (NIRCam).⁣ ⁣ Meanwhile, Webb’s mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) is all about dust. That’s clearest in the layers of diffuse, orange dust draping the top of the image. The densest regions of dust are cast in deep indigo hues, obscuring our view of the activities taking place inside the dense pillars. Dust is a major ingredient of star formation, one the reasons why the region is overflowing with stars.⁣ ⁣ Download this image and learn more at the link in @NASAWebb’s bio.⁣ ⁣ Image description: Three prominent pillars of semi-opaque gas and dust, in between shades of rust brown and gray-blue, start at the bottom left and reach toward the top right. From left to right, each pillar is consecutively smaller. The background blends from dark blue in the bottom left corner to bright orange-red in the upper right. The strongest bright orange hues dip into a V shape at the top center. Many of the tips of the pillars appear tinged with what looks like lava. Assorted eight-pointed yellow and blue stars litter the scene. There are also tiny orange-red dots at the edges of the pillars, which are newly born stars.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Credits: NASA, @EuropeanSpaceAgency/@ESAWebb, @CanadianSpaceAgency, @Space_Telescopes; with image processing by Joseph DePasquale (STScI), Alyssa Pagan (STScI), Anton M.

The Eagle Nebula - M16 Home to the Pillars of Creation, the Eagle Nebula, thanks to Hubble, is an iconic target in astrophotography. Also known as the Star Queen Nebula, it is located in the constellation Serpens and was discovered in the mid 1700s. . It is fitting that this post fell on July 4th, celebrated as Independence Day in the United States. The Bald Eagle is the national bird. This target is about the lowest I can shoot to the south with the houses and light pollution in that direction. I first shot thus target with the Raptor 61, giving me a wide field shot which also included the Omega Nebula. For this shot, I went to my old faithful, the Meade 80mm. Processed as a simulated SHO, I like how it came out. The HOO process I also did, bit not included here, gives a little more definition on the Pillars. . @meadeinstruments @canonusa . 24 x 300s Dark, flat, dark flat and bias frames used 800 ISO - Bortle 8 .

Amazing painting by @sonali.samarasena. She literally feeds my love for astronomy, and her rendition of the Pillars of Creation is astonishing. SERIOUSLY. Commission her to paint your furniture and random stuff as Galaxy designs. Freaking exquisite. . . . #galaxy #space #pillarsofcreation #thecorpsdancecrew #painting https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwTaKWLwp1/?igshid=krv06vq9jkr9

Eagle & Omega Nebulae - Getting a decent image of the Eagle Nebula was one of my goals this summer. Previously I posted the Eagle by itself taken with the Meade 80mm at 480mm focal length, however my first attempt at shooting the southern sky came with the Radian Raptor 61. Because of the wider field the Omega Nebula is also in the frame on the right side . I only got just over 2 hours of data at this focal length. This process is a simulated SHO using separation the color channels from using a narrowband filter . 31 x 240s Dark, flat, dark flats, and bias frames .
